Sadly, yet another series where I've mostly given up. I'm willing to suspend belief to a point, but that got pushed a bit too hard in the later books.
Interestingly, it seems like the idea of the apocalypse in Dies the Fire has been lifted wholesale for a new series coming on NBC this fall (heavy advertising during the Olympic coverage), including the planes falling from the sky when all electricity goes away, and the hero gets to bring salvation later. I hope Sterling got a big payment, or is willing to take someone to court over that (credit for the concept behind the show is given to JJ Abrams and Eric Kripke, in online blurbs).
